I move amendment No. 44:

In page 10, line 13, to delete “Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 140 of 2006)” and substitute “European Communities (Environmental Noise) Regulations 2018 (S.I. No. 549 of 2018)”.

This amendment updates a reference to the latest environmental noise guidelines, which implement the 2002 directive into Irish law and which came into effect in December 2018. I wish to clarify that this amendment is required because when the Bill was initiated in November, SI 140 of 2006 was in effect at the time. That statutory instrument was replaced in December 2018 with SI 594 of 2018. This amendment simply updates that reference.
